A life-saving surgical procedure for many a people, liver transplantation is the second most commonly performed organ tranplantation, which shows the predominance of liver conditions. Liver, being the largest internal organ, performs many important functions including preventing infections, toxin removal from the blood, immune control, processing nutrients, medications and hormones, and so on. A healthy liver, when damaged, can generate most of its own cells. If not healthy, it may lead to acute or chronic liver failure which may necessiate a liver tranplant for the survival of the victim. A liver transplantation is often advised for patients with conditions such as chronic hepatitis with cirrhosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, biliary cholangitis and alcoholic fatty liver. The procedure involves removal of the diseased liver and replacing it with a healthy liver from a donor. The transplant is recommended only after assessing the medical condition of the patient.
Our expert team comprising multi-organ transplant surgeons, hepatologists, anaesthesiologists, critcal care experts, diagnostic radiologists, interventional radiologists, infection control physicians, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists supported by many other medical personnel together are trained extensively on liver transplantation. At Aster MIMS, we make sure the patient is given adequate pre- and post-operative care keeping in mind all the potential post-operative complications.
